Madam, - A letter writer from Kildare who says he is an Irishman and a former member of "the Royal Navy" queries (Nov 13th) why our President did not wear a poppy at commemoration services in St Patrick's Cathedral recently. I have a question for him, which "Royal Navy" is he referring to, could it be the Dutch or Swedish or one of many others? - Yours, etc,
KEITH NOLAN, Carrick~on~Shannon, Co Leitrim.
